When Ed became really famous I had people always coming up to me and talking to me and wanting my picture – it was crazy. He’s such a big artist and I’m a massive fan of his but now it’s like I can’t escape it, people go mad when they think they’re meeting Ed Sheeran.

Ty appeared on Channel 4’s show Lookalikes last year, but claims that he finds it hard to tell if women actually even like him for who he is or are just looking for the next best thing to the pop star.

It’s made my relationships worse I’d say because now I have to weigh up if they like me for me or are they’re just interested in me because I’m the next best thing to Ed if they really like him. When girls ask me for pictures in the streets it’s annoyed some of my girlfriends in the past and caused problems. It’s hard to explain because it’s not like I can help it and I don’t like being horrible to people and deny them a picture if they want one.

The one good thing that did come out all of this is the fact Jones met Sheeran back in 2012 and said the pair hit it off.

Meeting Ed has been the highlight in all of this, he was so down to earth and just so shocked at how much I looked like him, it was really funny.
